    Honesty is about abiding by the law of the day, truth is more to do with morality, and authenticity which I think comes more from personal insight

    You have no idea do you? here let me help

  • Hard News: Metiria's Problem,

    All the white boys are out offering condescending remarks with their heads held at a certain angle.
    So, Finlay, the poor of this country would have been better served than by the likes of Metiria fessing up the way she did. Oh Really !!!!!! BY WHO?
    The poor dont get to chose a champion, you do realize that dont you Fuck knuckle!
    Geddis is just ineffectual for all his qualifications and law learning.
    Be proud of yourself NZ be real fucking proud.
    The darker side of our country has just been exposed to the world again.
    Our collective mind is small and narrow, kind of like a butt crack

    Far too many analogies going on there.

    escape cold hard political reality

    " There must be some kind of way out of here said the joker to the thief
    Theres too much confusion here..."

    I seem to remember someone banging on about reality, as if only they knew what that was. But it was just a rhetorical flourish to belittle those they disliked and who criticised their actions

    wider public opinion

    That gormless beast that lifts its dead eyes to give a pointless look into its mindlessness every now and then.
    Uninformed and self-interested, pushed that way by unthinking politicians who jumped on some passing bandwagon of belief and expect everyone to go along with them. Just cause they think they know more than they do. Thats their reality.

    both hit the nail

    In both cases a swing and a miss. They'd make lousy carpenters, maybe next weeks columns might prove them better journalists than the moralising horseshit they served up this week
    And to Mr Morgan

    fixing the system faults

    Is that right! just needs a bit of adjustment, some knob twiddling
    WAY TO MISS THE POINT GARETH!

    When the big question is simply ‘do you condone benefit fraud?’

    I wonder if there was any moral anguishing by the axeman as he stepped up to chop someones hand off for stealing bread to feed a family. Yes, that has happened in our not so glorious past as a species. This is a sort of Marie Antionette moment for a lot of people it seems. Cant see past their own moral uprightness.

    emotional intelligence.

    That spectacularly misfiring brain function? Say hi to it, next time you meet.

    Explain to us how intellect plays a really important part in their decision. Or maybe you can’t?

    I cant speak for the rest of humanity But thinking about stuff and recognizing faulty reasoning or one's own or others prejudices seems to work
